alarms and messages
Alarm Indication
An alarm condition is indicated by an audible alarm tone and visual alarm indicator. An Out-
of-limit parameter will flash on the Rad-5 only. “SEn OFF” and “nO SEn” will only generate
an alarm condition after a pulse has been found.
Alarm limits (Rad-5 only)
An audible alarm and a flashing alarm status indicator will occur when an alarm limit is met
or exceeded for greater than five seconds. Directions for alarm suspension are indicated
below. When a sensor is not connected to a patient, or when a sensor is not connected to
its cable, the display will read SEn OFF or NO SEn. An audible alarm will accompany the
display unless the oximeter has been set to Alarm Suspend Mode.

SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The Rad-5 can be placed into the Sleep Mode to allow the unit to capture normal and
abnormal data without the triggering alarms. This mode will blank out the unit display with
the exception of the Battery Level Indicator and the Alarm Silenced Indicator and disable
the alarms even after a power cycle. The keypad will be locked except for the power but-
ton. However, any single key press will bring the display back for 10 seconds. Upon power
up, the SLP mode will be displayed along with a 10 second display of parameters. The
Mode Enter and Next key held simultaneously for 3 seconds (select next (STD), Mode
Enter) will put it back into the special menu to exit.
